The Henry County Cemetery Commission met this evening and finalized a few details - we
will work again this year with the Henry County Day of Caring on May 17th in the
Lewisville Cemetery to finish some of the work we started on last year, when we worked in
this cemetery for the same event. Our goals are to reset several stones and to clean
stones in the old section. Please e-mail me at dtauber(a)kiva.net if you wish to
participate in this very publicized event as lunch will be provided and I need a head
count.
Also plans for Messick Cemetery is to have it sprayed for brush and weeds, hopefully prior
to our scheduled workdates on May 14th (it may to wet to get back there then) and on June
4th.
Also on Saturday May 21st at 9 am we will meet in the Current Cemetery, which is one the
"Prairie Grass" Preserves. The intent is to met with the land trust people who
do the scheduled burns and compare opinions, (it was their idea to met with us) as well as
reset several large stones. For more information on these cemeteries, you can find them
